Oops you forget someting , animals cloned or not need to eat. Each animal or
human is alive because of the environment that support them.
Humans can't create from nothing,  only Nature can do that. they are  just
good at favorising some creations over other creations. ( they are beating
their head  over and over with their fist ,  so they can  developp a big
biceps)
Science is good for playing with creation not creative in itself.
